Yesterday’s bringing forward of eased restrictions for vaccinated residents in NSW means Jamberoo Action Park will be able to open under full capacity from Monday 8 November rather than waiting until 1 December.
The Park will be opening for the first time this season this Saturday, 6 November - with the restricted capacity of 5000 guests - and is keeping to its plan of only being open on weekends during November.
“It’s exciting to be able to finally open and to welcome guests from Greater Sydney and also the regions,” says Grant Wright, Marketing Manager for Jamberoo Action Park.
“Based on the latest updates, from 8 November theme parks are subject to density limits – which will be 1 person per 2 square metres.
“This will allow us to operate without any restrictions on capacity based on the large amount of open space we have available here at Jamberoo Action Park.
“Guests can therefore book or purchase tickets with the confidence that they will get in on their chosen day.”
On 15 December, or if 95 per cent vaccination is reached beforehand, restrictions are set to fully ease for vaccinated and unvaccinated NSW residents.
“It’s a little odd to be opening at this time of year as we usually open on the back of the excitement of school holidays and being open every day throughout,” says Mr Wright.
“The holidays usually have their own hype that we ride along with.
“It will be interesting to see how things go with this November opening with Saturdays and Sundays until December and January, when we are then open every day.”
The date for the opening of the $10 million Velocity Falls water development – which includes an eight lane racing waterslide, three water rides and a trackless train to link the Park’s attractions for guests – is yet to be set.
The scale of the Velocity Falls ride
“We’re looking forward to the release of the Velocity Falls ride precinct which is still under construction at the moment,” says Mr Wright.
“At this time, all we can say is we plan to be open later this summer.
“We had hoped to be open sooner, however the past few months have been damaging to the progress.”
